What do you love about Becker?

"I love that Becker never accepts that what we have is good enough and is always willing to challenge the status quo in an effort to improve. I love the scale of the impact we are able to have both in terms of the number of students we can reach and the impact of the profession as a whole. I love that it gives me the opportunity to do what I love!"

What would you tell an accounting student today?

"The possibilities for a career in accounting are truly limitless - even if you could list all the opportunities available today, the list would be out of date by tomorrow. Never forget, that first and foremost, accounting is a people business - as long as you cultivate your ability to connect with others, you will have opportunities to succeed!"

Becker fun fact

"I've visited 48 of the 50 states (just Alaska and North Dakota left to go!). I love playing board games - in fact, I have a whole room of my house devoted to my board game collection."
